lurkittyFour pie crusts, two filled with sweet potato filling and baked, the first rollings of the croissant/cinnamon rolls, one batch of eggs boiled for devilled eggs, the soup completed and my back hurts. I am currently waiting for the pumpkin to cool so I can peel it and make the filling for the other two pies. Wait, hold on, you said peel the pumpkin? Yes. I don't make pumpkin pie from a can. Nor do I use evaporated milk. Half and half. Like the music says, I'm crazy.
The sweet potato pie has butter and cream. It was another thing my Dad asked for. I'm not too worried about his arteries hardening anymore. I want him to have all the tastes he remembers. I'm getting up early to make the Parker House Rolls tomorrow. I won't be using my bread machine. This is my finest roll recipe. It calls for compressed yeast. I went to two different stores to find it ( the first was out). There is a subtle difference in the flavour of compressed yeast vs. conventional dry vs rapidrise dry. Compressed has the most "yeasty" or homestyle taste. Another difference is that you don't have to put any water in the recipe. You can use milk or buttermilk for all the liquid (I'll be using buttermilk).
There were moments of grave consternation, bordering on rending of garments and gnashing of teeth, when I thought I had burned out the Vita Mix. Turned out it only overheated....whew!
Still lots to do!
